Re: NFS:PU getting killed!!!!!

with the 911 turbos, I can win if I put the downforce front and rear up to 70 and lower the ride-height, that way you can actually go round corners without spinning...

Well, I personally made the stupid mistake of not installing the upgrade parts I bought. I figured that my car would be upgraded automatically, as I bought some high tech part. So in the end, I've gotten all these upgrades, but I still got beat. By chance, I entered the 'Car Setup' menu (didn't bother before), where I found out that you had to install the parts manually! After I had installed the parts, I won all the races easily. Ice D

Don't feel bad..........I can't seem to make it past the 944's.(Golden era) They are killing me! I have upgraded (and installed) most mods, but still cannot keep up. It's getting kind of frustrating :( Any tips on beating the 944's? tia Ivan In article <0jcL4.43100$[email hidden]>, "o)+>" <[email hidden]> wrote: > Evolution mode...now I'm in the 911 era & every race I getkilled...can't > keep up & I crash always!!!

You need to buy aftermarket parts for your car... With every new car I buy in Evolution mode, I add at least Pro shocks/springs/stiff sway bar, then low restriction exhaust, and enough engine mods to give me a horsepower advantage on the AI. With the mods you should have a good chance against the AI, the trick is not to spin out and lose time trying to turn around to get up to speed. I find that I can usually carry more speed through the corners than the AI, so just concentrate on driving fast but clean as opposed to very fast and out of control :-) Plus those crashes really start costing major $$$ once the cars get in the $100K range, so unless you drive clean you may not have enough money left to make car mods after spending most of it on repairs. Have fun. --John --

try taking a look at the gear box your running depending on which track you are racing the gear box will make a big difference for ex. on zone industrieal i run the high speed gear box and the close raitio or low gear box on the rest of the tracks hope this helps Mark

Weight reduction seems particularly helpful if you haven't done that yet. Also stiffen up the suspension and lower ride height in the setup screen. Worked for me, but I squeaked by with third place.

You definitely need to buy some suspension parts like others have said. You should also upgrade your engine. Then stiffen the shocks and lower the ride height and the 911 will go around the corners a lot more easily. But THE most important thing to remember about driving the 911 is that it is SEVERELY tail happy, meaning it doesn't take much to make the tail step out and cause a spin. When you are in a corner be VERY careful with the gas. Ideally, you should do all of your braking before you get to the corner so that you can take the entire corner at full throttle. If you see that the car is understeering (pushing toward the outside of the corner), let off the gas ever so slightly until the tail starts to come around, then get back on the gas. You have to practice with it a lot but once you get the hang of it, there is nothing more fun. If you let off the gas too abruptly in a corner, the weight transfers to the front of the car, the rear tires lose traction, and before you know it you are looking at where you just came from. The best car to practice this technique in is the 1978 911 Turbo. Since it has the most power, the things that I mentioned above are more exaggerated than in the naturally aspirated 911s. It's kinda like swinging a heavier bat in the on deck circle -- if you can drive the 911 Turbo effectively, you can drive anything. Good luck and have fun!

agree !!! the 911 rs turbo is a hottie to handle, but I stiffen/lowered the suspension, so weight transfer is not so severe, & sometimes around large sweeping corners I tend to blip the handbrake to get a bit of tailslide going when throttling down doesn't help. Call me cheat... Todd Walker wrote:
